30 Day Journal Challenge

I know I keep returning in an attempt to complete one of these challenges, but I feel I really can and will complete this one next month since by next month things will be somewhat more settled for me. We close and move into our new house this week and then I'm off for a week in STL with my family and friends. I'm so excited to see my family, I think since I moved here has been the longest I've been away from them. So, tomorrow after work I have to run some errands and pick up a new journal to start my challenge out right!! Hopefully on Friday I will start it and stick with it for the whole month!! So, excited, if anything I always like to read and be inspired by Janel!!

Weekend Catchup, Oktoberfest

This past weekend flew by! I'm trying to remember what I even did this weekend. I went to this spa night over at my friends place on Friday. Got some great products, I may have to do a separate posting on the products. Saturday I was pretty lazy. My brother came to town to visit and we went for a walk then dinner. 

Jeff and I got the VIP pass for Oktoberfest on Sunday. We met up with our close group of friends for the day. It's really a tradition of our now. We first went all together in 2009 which was kind of the start of group, each year is always fun. I made some new friends as well, it was awesome!! I spent most of today recovering from yesterday though, there was a lot of beer!!

I did use today though to catch-up on my journaling since my weekend was not as focused. Here are my journal pages for the past few days.

So, that is kind of my weekend in a nutshell. I have 5 more days of work left and then it's all packing and moving out. I feel like I haven't done anything this weekend to prepare for moving. I think I'll be more focused once I'm finished with work and only focused on packing. Wish me luck!!

Catching up... Send some Letters

     So, I've been a little behind due to being kind of busy this past week. I have so much I'm trying to keep on top of and still socializing! Our journal class had a chat last Wednesday and I still haven't even had a chance to say how much fun it was talking to everyone! Such an amazing group of gals! I love it!
     I also spent some time with my sisters and mother this weekend for an actual slumber party! We got massages on Saturday then went shopping at Trader Joe's, dinner at one of my favorite restaurants on the Hill (well Watson, close to the Hill).

 One of my favorite Restaurants!

    We ended up back at my place and my sister's place (did I mention one of my sister's moved in right below where I live? Well, she did and it's awesome!). I made blue cheese stuffed olives for delicious dirty martinis and we had late night snacking on food we bought at Trader Joe's. I love Trader Joe's!! If you haven't been to one you have to check it out!

I was so tired I passed out on the couch when we watched "Despicable Me". I've seen it probably 2-3 times already since I bought it over Christmas. I love it!! It's super cute and funny!

   So, the following are my journal pages from the class (I've been a little behind and finally got all caught up this evening! Nice way to start out the week!) I'm so loving this class!! It's really helping me feel happier each day to accomplish each page and then to look back on it! I love it!

P.S. This week is National Letter Writing week, so celebrate and send some love!!
